Mini standing hand powered tricyle

ABSTRACT

A mini standing hand powered tricycle for sidewalks, indoor large surfaces, etc. conceived for users, with weak legs and strong arms that get tired walking. The tricycle is propulse by a conventional bicycle hand pedal sprocket wheel and chain to allow driving, steering, and braking by the user in a standing position.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

A prior provisional application was submitted with filing date Aug. 18, 2014 and application No. 62/070,124 for a mini standing hand powered tricycle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of endeavor of my invention pertains to bicycle technology particularly to the standing hand tricycle.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The substance or general idea of my invention is to allow people with weak legs and strong arms that get tired walking to use, in a standing position, a light and simple hand powered tricycle instead to have to use prematurely a wheelchair or an electric wheeled vehicle heavy and expensive. This new configuration of a hand tricycle allowing user to stand constitutes a technological improvement in the cycle industry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

My invention consist in a mini standing hand powered tricycle FIG. 1 for sidewalks, shopping centers, indoor large surfaces, etc. Conceived originally for users, with weak legs and strong arms, that get tired walking.

A 12½ inch bicycle wheel with standered sprocket and brake is used. FIG. 2 The wheel is propulse by a conventional bicycle pedal sprocket wheel assembly FIG. 3 to allow hand propulsion, steering, and braking by the user in a standing position.

The frame is made from standered bicycle framing FIG. 4.

A reinforce post approximately 36″ long FIG. 4 in a upright position is used with the pedal sprocket wheel assembly FIG. 3 at the upper end and the 12½ inch wheel with its sprocket brake assembly FIG. 2 at the bottom end.

A standered bicycle chain is used as a power transmitter.

A light aluminium 10″×12″ platform (a sort of mini flat trailer) mounted on two 3″ skate board wheels FIG. 5 on which the user stands is couple to the reinforce post previously described. FIG. 4

A bicycle front wheel fork tubing bearing assembly FIG. 6 is used to connect the skateboard wheel platform to the main post. The female tubing is welded vertically to the main post FIG. 4 and the male bearing tubing is firmly attached to the plate form. FIG. 5. When insert one into the other, the retaining washer and nut in place, the standing tricycle is operational. Side view of the tricycle FIG. 7
